Nothing but clouds here in my part of VA.

Yeah, snowing in my neighborhood. Was really looking forward to the show.

I lucked out, clouds were not an issue, sat out back with a bowl of Chilli and a mug, double wrapped in winter gear.. (at 30*), and watched... as the stars moved from east, to now south... Orion in particular, as it's easiest to locate... about 3-4 dozen good ones were seen, mostly below Orions lower foot, only a couple off Gemini...
by sunup tomorrow, Orion will be located higher, and in the west sky...
I watched the movement, and wasn't thinking when I originally posted time and direction...

look for Orion, and specifically Betalgeuse, as a center point.. everything I saw came from that spot, but was lower... like Orion was pooping them out.
sorry, but that's what it looked like...
